Officials and party members must be proactive, exemplary and drastic in propagating deeply and widely to the people about policies, regimes and regulations related to compensation, site clearance and resettlement. for key project projects to create consensus for the overall development of the province.

Relevant departments, branches, localities and units must continue to review, urgently deploy and take the next steps for Project Provincial Roads 830E and 827E, determining specific completion goals for them in the 2020-2025 term.
